Funeral

MadeinTYO and MyNamePhin go back and forth.

While generally seen as a purveyor of new-wave sounds, MadeinTYO has successfully captured a vintage vibe on "Funeral." Backed by macabre cover art of Bart Simpson's corpse, the laid-back track finds the "Uber Everywhere" rapper coming through with a pair of bookended verses. Setting things off, Tokyo raps "these bars will make you lift up, I'm in your stomach like a sit-up, ice cream diamonds yeah, it just got my wrist stuck."

Next up comes MyNamePhin, repping Private Club Records, who holds it down with an arguable standout verse. His flow slides over a mysterious line of chatter, which blends with the minimal instrumental to create an out-of-body effect. Tokyo returns for the finishing blow, and thus concludes the latest loosie. For those looking for an extension of TYO's usual sound, you might find yourself disappointed. Yet for anyone seeking the charms of simpler times, look no further.
